    Vince is absolutely talented and amazing

    Vince and his team at Open Iris were PHENOMENAL!! I could not have asked for a better experience. The wedding went by so fast, I was extremely happy to have every memory caught in the photos. It was like I was reliving the whole day all over again as I went through them. He didn’t miss a moment and I am so thankful for that. He always responded very quickly to anything I had questions about before the wedding. I will definitely hire Open Iris again for any of mine and my Husband’s photography needs in the future. You ROCK and I can’t thank you enough!!

    Absolutely amazing experience

    Open Iris was incredible. They did everything and anything to make us feel comfortable behind the camera, which I have a hard time with. We also did a engagement shoot to get to know them, and I would highly recommend that! It was so fun getting to know Vince and his amazing team. I would recommend them over and over! We got our photos and I am blown away by their work. THANK YOU Open Iris!!!!!!!!

    Vince is so amazing at what he does! He listens and cares about what we have to say, and has such good attention to detail! We didn't have a preference for location for our engagement photos, and he picked such a beautiful spot! I would highly reccomend Vince to anyone!

    My husband and I absolutely loved our photographers! Engagement and wedding pictures were beyond what we expected and they were done so tastefully! Vince gets your venue and vision of what you want in pictures, and hits it right on the head! He was very flexible with us as far as meeting and touring our venue. I would recommend him to everyone, and will definitely use Open Iris again. Thank you again!!

    Open Iris Photography was amazing all the away around! My husband and I hate taking pictures. In fact, so much so, we had not even gotten our engagement photos done! It's sad, but anyhow. Vince and his team were wonderful. Excellent direction. They took into consideration our style, our families, schedule. We were in Santa Barbara and didn't know anything about the area. They gave excellent recommendations on where to go and had incredible insight into what would look best. We had to trust them on everything and I do not regret it one bit! They knew how crazy we were about our four-legged fur baby and they took excellent care of him and made him apart of our special day. I cannot thank these guys enough! They were MORE than on time the day of the event. He contacted me well in advance to see if there were any special requests. He worked with all of our crazy requests. We trust them wholeheartedly. In fact, he gave us a sneak preview of the pics, and I am just in tears. Thank you Open Iris for such a wonderful and laid-back experience! We cannot wait to see the remainder of the pics.

    Amazing photo experience!!

    We had an amazing time working with Vince from Open Iris! He spent time before our photo session to ask what pictures were important to us. He was easy to work with and made us feel comfortable during the picture time. He listens to what we want and we got amazing photos that we will cherish forever! I can't choose which images I want to print. We LOVED so many of them! I would highly recommend hiring Open Iris for your wedding photos.

    When I got engaged, I knew that photography was going to be one of the most important choices I made for my wedding. I wanted pictures that I would be in love with, blown away by. When I first saw Vince's portfolio, I knew he was the photographer I wanted--his photos were so beautifully editorial, the lighting in them was magical, and the moments captured ethereal. I got married in Illinois, and I paid the extra money to fly Vince out there because I knew I wouldn't find anyone I liked better. It was absolutely the right choice. I have wedding photos that belong in magazines. I've received so many compliments on his work. Most importantly, I feel Vince captured the beauty of my marriage. I had both my engagement pictures and wedding photos shot by Vince. During photo-shoots, Vince was very good at getting my husband and I to feel natural in front of the camera. He has great vision for creative shots, and you will be guaranteed to have more favorite pictures than you can even keep track of because all of them come out so amazingly well. He uses different lighting, both film and digital cameras, so you get a variety of great-looking options. Both my engagement shoot and wedding photos were outdoors, and I think that is the space in which Vince thrives. He captures the beauty of nature so well, it's almost like you are looking at a fantasy world. On top of that, he is very good at capturing the sweet, loving moments between couples. Vince is truly an artist. His skills with a camera should not be underestimated. I was proud to have him as my photographer.

    AMAZING! With having a destination wedding back home while living on the East Coast we were very selective in finding the right photographer. Vince made the process easy and his photography caught every amazing moment of our big day that captured memories to last a lifetime.
    His flexibility and easy-going personality complimented the laid-back, fun vibe of the party. We greatly appreciated the services he and his team provided. Very reasonably priced with excellent quality of work. Highly recommend.

    Vince, and everyone else we worked with from Open Iris, were just the best. From our initial introduction/meeting where we went over options, to the engagement shoot, to the wedding day...everything was just perfect. Vince is a master of light! I don't know how he does it, but that's why he's the professional! We just showed up and he captured the moments and made us look as amazing as we felt. Thank you Vince and the whole Open Iris team, it was a pleasure to work with you and the pictures are all we could have hoped for on our special day!

    Open Iris Photography is one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. This is the biggest day of our lives thus far and naturally we wanted every moment captured. Open Iris exceeded our expectations. Vince and his team were professional, fun, creative, prompt and accommodating. As a bride, they made me feel comfortable and I barely noticed they were there! We appreciate their unique, classic style and are looking forward to using them for all of our future photos.

    Open Iris made our wedding awesome! Out of all of the people we worked with I would have to say that Open Iris was the best. Vince and his assistant were timely and had some really fun ideas as far as shoot locations. Vince has an amazing eye and great imagination. He got our whole wedding party into a row a boat and got some amazing fun shots that matched everyone personality! He also got everyone dancing, really made our wedding into an even more lively party. The photos came out more beautifully than I could have ever hoped for, I would recommend Open Iris to anyone and everyone.

    My husband and I were very satisfied with Open Iris Photography! They made us feel very comfortable, they were professional, and they even helped keep our wedding organized, aside from the photography. We would definitely recommend Vince to anyone who needed an amazing photographer. :)

    I have to say, choosing Open Iris Photography to shoot our wedding and engagement session was the best choice we made. Vince and his team really exceeded our expectations and made us feel very comfortable. After meeting with Vince for the first time and seeing his work we instanly knew he would be our photographer. We absolutely love the fact that Open Iris Photography is unique, Vince and his team are truly artists. We feel that they have given us a touch of vintage and modern photos and were really good at listening to our ideas as well as guiding us in their professional opinions. We had a blast at our engagement session. I wanted to do something really unique and off the wall for the engagement session. Vince and Matt were so excited and really adapted to our environment. (cars driving by honking, being dark out, our dog not sitting still, my fiance and I running into the street to get the perfect shot, having a parked car in front of a theater sign) They came fully prepared!!!
    The day of the wedding, I had no stress regarding my photographers because I know that this is their passion. I just looked at all of my wedding photos tonight for the first time, and I know I made the right choice by choosing Open Iris Photography. As other big events occur in our lives I will without a doubt be calling Vince to schedule our next shoot! They are the best!

    Vince, our photographer, was flexible easy to chat with and provided the help with our schedule expectations and beautiful photos. For me email is my best mode of communication and Vince was easy to communicate with in this way. We were able to meet at convenient times and locations. Also, he was great to work with especially since my daughter attended our meetings and holding a meeting with a toddler isn't always the easiest task. Vince would even wait for me and allow his pregnant client to eat while they met. It was a fantastic event with phenomenol pictures to remember it by!

    Open Iris did our engagement and wedding photography along with videography for both. They were amazing!! The photos turned out great, the lighting was beautiful and the creativity with a lot of the shots was awesome. They were very resonable in price and flexible with traveling to our out of town location for the engagement shoot and wedding. They have an edge on the current photography trends and i would highly recommend them!
